Guys
these holes were not in the stiffener or the channel , but shown on plans page P-T-HT?VT-spar details ,and several places on P-T-HT-Details.
We have verified the file and future parts will have these holes.

After looking at the HT spars again it looks like only the center holes for the inner ribs are missing on the spars, top and bottom holes are there.

HT spar holes for inner ribs

Post by at7000ft »

Question about the predrilled holes in the HT front and rear spars for the ribs, there are no holes for the two inner ribs (are shown on the plans). Are we supposed to cleco the skins on first to figure out where these holes are to be drilled in the spars?

thanks
